jeiber 0 #76 August 31, 2006 QuoteThis is cheaper than having to pay an additional $100 or so per month for the next 3 years on your insurance. Insurance companies don't bill you based on points, they base it on moving violations. You can get a ticket (with or without points), but if your insurance company doesn't have a reason to pull your driving record, they don't raise your rates. File a claim, and you bet they'll pull your record. This came directly from my insurance agent, at Allstate a year or so ago. JeffShhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!

Duckwater 0 #77 August 31, 2006 Holy Crap skymama!!!!!!! You are taking more crap for this than I did for hi-jacking your avatar! I think the main point is to do whatever it takes to keep points off and ensure nothing is reported to the insurance comp. The worst teen driver has got to be my frends daughter...New VW bug, driving a month, misses the drivewat to their house by 20 ft and creams a telephone pole - totalled. Next a Jeep Liberty.....3 weeks later, rolls it, all by herself, on the offramp near the house. Now onto car #3....a 4cyl mustang. My pleas to enroll her in Skip Barbers school have fallen on deaf ears. It is 700 bucks, and I cant convince him it would be the best money he ever spent. http://www.skipbarber.com/driving_school/new_driver.aspx I learned car control doing donuts in my 72 pick up in the pasture......

Derekbox 0 #79 September 1, 2006 They will raise your rates for non moving violations too. I was qouted a clean record price recently, and then when they pulled my records, several equipment violations were found that raised my premium $100/6m. I was driving an OLD BEAT up pick up, the lights kept going out or the muffler would fall of... you get the idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is my right, and my willingness to fight the man buy using a lawyer to get out of itm I also feel is my civil duty. Now that is patriotism, being given the right to fight the system and actually doing so, was the greatest *right* the founding fathers gave to us.
